The healthfulness of goats milk i

The healthfulness of goats milk is a
well-known fact, and in many parts of
Europe these animals are kept with de-
cided proft. Professor Long, of Eng
land, advises people wEo cannot afford
the luxury of cow to keep goat, be-
cause it can be kept cheaper than any
other animal and will yield profitable
return in milk. He thinks the expense
of maintaining one would not exceed SIS
q year, while it will eat almost any kind
of food and yield from one and half to
two quarts of milk day, worth at least

PROGRESS IN CHINA,
Religious IIiterty Guaranteed by
the New Chinese Dynasty.

Religious Iiterty Guaranteed by
the New Chinese Dynasty.
1t is said at tho Chinese Legation in Wash
ington that til, recent order guaranteeing
religious liberty to all classes throughout
China is but another step in the upward and
progressive movement Of the empire. The
Dowager Empress, who has just abdicated
in favor of her young kiusman, Quon Shu,
is woman OF broad, liberal views
1t was under her reign that China threw
oil her shacliles of intolerance and isolation
and took her place among the nations of the
earth: During tho recent troubles between
the French and Chinese the declaration
OF war on the part of the latter was
coupled with the announcement that
tho army and navy must offer
every protection to tho missionaries 50 long
as they remained non-combatants. Quon
Shu, who has just succeeded to the throne, is
represented as bright, clever young man
of seventeen, who has been careful ly and
thoroughly edul ated, and who Is fully in &C.
cord with the humane and progresa spirit
of his predecessor. .FtI%55zsx

Memphis Sunday Times: While /

had right to expect common hon
esty from it. In the matter of the
approaching prohibition election the
county court constituted itself virtu-
ally the tail to Pat Winters kite.
Only after a considerable struggle,
could the probibitionists succeed In
getting any representation III the
board of election judges. AS for the
appointment of the clerks, nothing
more disgraceful was ever done ny
any court. In the first place the list
of clerks were struggled i'll and adop'
ted in such clandestine way that the
newspapers did not discover the list
until two or three days afterwards.
When the Prohibitionists protested,
the court reconsidered its action and
decided that it had no legal authority
to appoint the clerks, and referred The
whole matter to the sheriff. This,
however, was only trick; for the
next Gay the court quietly reconsidered
its reconsideration, appointed the for
mer list, and adjourned until next
October. In short, the County Court
lent itself as body to "A dishonest
scheme to defrAud the Prohibitionists
of rights guaranteed by the law
What other significance can he place.

vert the decision of the people On TIT

Value of a Gas Well.

Lima (Ind. J Gazette: To give some
idea of the value of the gas territory
owned by the Toledo companies let us
take the "Simons" well, one of the
largest in the state. This well has
the capacity. as shown by actual
measurement, of II, 100000 feet of
gas per day. For heating purposes
10000 feet of gas are equivalent to
one ton Of the best bitumlnouS coal.
So that the daily product of this one
well is equal to ,O39 tons of coal, y
23l tons per week; 376,012 per year.
One well is supposed to draw from a
territory Of but eight acres, and the
two Toledo companies control, by lease
or purchase, over $4,000 acres oil
tested gas lands IN this locality.

COST TO CONSUMERS.

The cost of gas to consumers is one
rarely needing to be discussen, as the
story is better told under the head of
the saving by gas. Perhaps no better
illustration of this can he shewn than
by taking the Maumee rolling mill, of
Toledo, with an output Of fifty tons of
iron per day. This mills bill for coal
was 5000 per day. The wages of men
to handle the coal, to cart away the
clnders, the expense of replenishing
grate-bars and fire brick, would make
the actual cost of fuel account with
coal, Sc, 25 per ton of iron produce.
The gas company's price to them is
$1.90 per ton. The difference in these
two accounts shows profit of S167.6O
per day, or over 500, 900 per year, be-
ing 10 per cent. or the capital Of the
rolling mill company. What compel
itor using coal can hold his own with
this company? The price of gas il
